About these units
Cup (UK) (cup (UK))
A UK cup equals 284 mL, slightly larger than both the US cup and the metric cup. Used historically in British cooking, the UK cup is now largely superseded by grams and milliliters, but it remains relevant when interpreting older recipe books and culinary traditions. Its intermediate size provided a convenient measure in a pre-metric world and still appears in baking communities that prefer imperial standards.
Quart (UK) (qt (UK))
A UK quart equals 1/4 of a UK gallon, approximately 1.13652 liters, making it significantly larger than the US quart. Historically used for beer, milk, and household liquids, the UK quart was a staple of British commerce for centuries. In many traditional recipes and food instructions, quarts remain in archival use. The quart illustrates the divergence between US and UK systems following the 18th-century measurement reforms, reflecting how cultural and regulatory environments shape unit evolution.
